Pesach Cooking 2009

Fish

Take 2 packs of frozen tilapia, preferably not Dagim.

Cut each fillet in half and then each half into 1" wide pieces.

Sprinkle with fish spices.

Take 2 potatoes and cut into similar size pieces.

Start frying the potatoes in a frying pan.

After all of the potatoes have changed color, add the fish and some more fish spices.

Stir, lower the flame and cover.

Cook, stirring occasionally until done.

Chicken

Take 2 chickens, dump them into a crock pot 8 hours in advance and cover with your favorite sauce.

Done.

Cholent

Layer 1: chopped garlic.

Layer 2: meat, chestnuts and walnuts.

Layer 3: salt, pepper, red hot paprika, honey, ground nutmeg.

Layer 4: yams, squash, ground meat, 2-3 hot dogs, 3 eggs.

Use a cup of coke or some slivovits for flavor.  Unfortunately no beer.

Totally unexpected

Well, this was somewhat unexpected.  For a couple of weeks NY's been gnawing on his fist, slobbering all over and having bouts of screaming.  Sounds like teething, but at three months?!  Shlomik only had his first tooth at seven months and while their behavior is different, what does that have to do with teeth.  NY was exactly one pound heavier than Shlomik but since when is that a criteria.
Was very surprised to find NY sporting a new fang this morning.
Gonna post pictures later.

MTA SPAM

Tired of waiting for a bailout, MTA has decided to take matters into its own hands.

This morning, MTA started a sales campaign on Twitter.

After  each official update, there are at least 2 promotional updates bringing great offers such as Cialis, Viagra and Canadian Pharmacies.

Gangsta

Wherever he goes, nothing left around but bullet holes.

Get out of my way if you want to see the end of today.

It's good day to be a gangsta

 

My old lady

Buyer beware: e-worlddirect aka M & B Supplies Inc aka Upstate Computers Corp

My wife made a purchase from e-worlddirect. They charged her credit card and changed order status to "processed". 2 weeks later, nothing. She contacts them, is promised the order will ship ASAP. Week later contacts them again and is again told the order will ship ASAP. A shipping label is created with UPS. We wait several days, UPS shows that packaged has still not been submitted. We contact BBB. Company tells BBB that they're very sorry and that they will issue a refund. Wife talks to them on the phone and they tell her they will credit back the order. It's now over 2 months since initial order and no refund has been made.

Now here's the fun part. Credit card charge was not from e-worlddirect, but from M & B Supplies, Inc, a computer supplies company in Monroe with listed contact being Sam Krausz. On a different site, president of company is listed as Sara Krausz. On a different site, when searching by phone number listed next to the credit card charge, 845-782-4306, the company is now Upstate Computers Corp. with president Sara Krausz.

I wonder, maybe my wife should've used her Jewish name when contacting this company.
